2. IntroductionFLASHBACK 2 DELAY packs our entire delay legacy into a single compact

and affordable stompbox that's designed for now – and the future. 

Our groundbreaking MASH technology adds an expression pedal to a world-

class delay stompbox that responds to your touch and saves precious 

pedalboard space – and blends the ethereal world of delay with the ultimate

in personal expression. Add the brand-new Crystal delay algorithm and two

additional TonePrint slots, and the soon-to-be legendary FLASHBACK 2 DELAY

brings a wealth of new dimensionality to your quest for tonal perfection!

2.1 UnpackingYour TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal box should contain the following items:

• Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal

• 1 USB cable (Type A to Mini-B)

• 1 TC ELECTRONIC sticker

Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit

damage, inform the carrier and supplier. If damage has occurred, keep all

packaging, as it can be used as evidence of excessive handling force.

2.2 True BypassHere at TC, we have a simple philosophy: When you are using one of our products,

you should hear something great – and when it’s off, you shouldn’t hear it at all.

This is why this pedal sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is really off and

as zero influence on your tone, resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of

high end.

Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect pedal from True Bypass to Buffered

Bypass mode. For more information, see “6.2 Switching the pedal from

True Bypass to Buffered Bypass”

2.3 Setting upConnect a 9 V power supply with the following symbol to the DC input socket of

your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal.

This product does not come with a power supply. We recommend using TC ELECTRONIC’s PowerPlug 9 (sold separately).

• • If no power supply is available, you can run this product using a battery.

For more information on changing batteries, see “7.2 Changing the battery”.

• • Plug the power supply into a power outlet.

• • Connect your instrument to the in jack on the right side of the pedal using a

¼ " jack cable.

• • Connect the out jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier using a

¼ " jack cable.

3. TonePrintThis TC Electronic product supports TonePrints. To learn more about TonePrints,

go to tcelectronic.com/toneprint/

3.1 What are TonePrints?When you look at your TC Electronic eff ect pedal, you’ll only see a few knobs.

Actually, for some pedals, it’s just one knob. So – one knob, one function, right?

Actually, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Star-tweaked signature sounds

When TC Electronic builds an eff ect pedal, the relationship between its controls

and many parameters “under the hood” are defi ned by developers, musicians

and product specialists who live and breathe sound. This gives you an excellent

starting point: a great-sounding pedal with well-balanced controls.

But wouldn’t it be cool to have world-famous guitar players – guys like

Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, John Petrucci or Steve Vai – virtually rewire your

reverb pedal, defi ning what should happen “behind the scenes”?

And how about doing this yourself?

This is exactly what TonePrint allows you to do.

TC Electronic is working with top guitar players who explore a pedal’s hidden

tonal potential, redefi ning the controls and creating their personal TonePrints.

And we are making these custom TonePrints available to you. Uploading them to

your pedal is really easy (see “Transferring Tone- Prints to your pedal using the

TonePrint app”) – and with the amazing TonePrint Editor, you can even create

your own signature pedal, tweaked specifi cally to your liking.

You can change the TonePrints in your pedal as often as you like, and the best

part: It’s totally free.

3.2 Transferring TonePrints to your pedalusing the TonePrint appBeing able to virtually rewire your TC Electronic eff ect pedal wouldn’t be much

use if you needed a lot of extra equipment to do it. This is why we created the

TonePrint app. The TonePrint app is free software for popular smartphones that

allows you to “beam” new TonePrints right into your eff ect pedal whenever and

wherever you feel like it.

5 FLASHBACK 2 DELAY User Manual

interested in.

4. Inputs, Output and Controls

4.1 Power / Computer connection(1) POWER input - To power up your pedal, connect a power supply to its

power input socket. The power input socket of your TC ELECTRONIC effect

pedal is a standard 5.5/2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative).

Your TC ELECTRONIC eff ect pedal requires a 9 V power supply providing

100 mA or more (not supplied). TC ELECTRONIC recommends using the

PowerPlug 9.

To minimize hum, use a power supply with isolated outputs. If no power

supply is available, you can run this product using a battery. For more

information on changing batteries, see “7.2 Changing the battery”.

(2) USB port - Use the standard Mini-B USB port on your TC ELECTRONIC effect

pedal to connect your pedal to a computer. If there should be firmware

updates for this pedal, they can be installed using the USB port –

see “7.1 Updating the firmware”.

4.2 Switching(3) FOOTSWITCH - The footswitch performs performs 2 functions - on/off

and MASH.

• • To turn the eff ect on, tap the footswitch. To turn the eff ect off , tap the

footswitch again.

• • The footswitch also controls the MASH function, which is detailed in

section 5.2.

*The delay tempo can still be controlled with your feet, but this is done by connecting a separate

footswitch to the Stereo Input jack. See section 4.3 for details.

(4) INDICATOR LED - The LED lights up when the effect is switched on.

4.3 Audio in and out(5) AUDIO INPUT/TAP TEMPO - The audio inputs on the right side of this pedal

are standard ¼ " jacks (mono/TS). Connect your guitar to the mono audio

input on the right side of your pedal using a regular ¼ " instrument cable.

The pedal also accepts stereo signals using a pair of ¼ " TS cables.

6 FLASHBACK 2 DELAY User Manual

When using the Flashback 2 in mono, you can connect an external

footswitch to the Stereo input jack with a TRS or TRS-to-TS cable to control

the delay tempo. The external footswitch will also function as a dedicated

‘Stop’ switch when using the looper mode. Note that external tap tempo

must be enabled in the editor software, and this causes both output jacks to

operate in mono.

(6) AUDIO OUTPUT - The audio outputs on the left side of this pedal are

standard ¼ " jacks (mono/TS). Connect the audio output of your pedal to the

next device in the signal chain, either with a single cable or with a pair of

¼ " cables if both inputs are used.

4.4 Eff ect controlsPlease note that the knob assignments on your TC Electronic pedal are the default

assignments. Using the TonePrint editor, you can rewire all knobs so they control

one or several parameters of your choice. For more information, see the TonePrint

editor manual.

(7) DELAY knob – Use this knob to adjust the time of the delay. Most delay

types have a range of 20 ms to 7000 ms (7 seconds!).

(8) SUBDIVISION switch – This switch determines the note intervals that the

delay repetitions are based on. The options are quarter note, dotted eighth,

and quarter note plus dotted eighth.

(9) FEEDBACK knob – Use the Feedback knob to determine the number of

delay repeats.

(10) MASH LED - This will light up when the MASH function is engaged by

pressing down firmly on the footswitch. The LED gets brighter as the

footswitch receives more pressure, indicating a more intense triggering of

the parameter that is assigned to this function.

(11) LEVEL knob – This knob adjusts the volume level of the delay repeats.

The direct, unprocessed signal is always passed through at the original

(unity) level. The Level knob only controls how prominently the delay

repeats are mixed with the dry signal.

(12) Delay type selector – Select the type of delay or TonePrint with this knob.

The available types are described in the following section (4.5).

4.5 Delay types

2290

Once upon a time… (i.e., back in 1985) TC Electronic released the 2290 Dynamic

Digital Delay. It set the bar for professional delays for years to come and is still

held in high regard among delay enthusiasts. Use the “2290” delay for the

crispest and cleanest delay you can imagine. This is the standard.

ANALOG

This is as close as you can get to the charming nature of an old analog transistor

bucket-brigade delay without buying the real thing! With every repeat, you get

more of that old-school “fade to grey” vibe.

TAPE

Who doesn’t love the smooth sound of an old tape echo machine? This new-and-

improved algorithm meticulously replicates every aspect of authentic tape delay,

including the pitch shifting that occurs when the delay time is altered.

DYNAMIC

This is a replica of the legendary Dynamic Delay initially introduced in the

renowned TC 2290. The delay’s output level is actively altered by the dynamics

of the input level. While playing, the delay level is attenuated, and in between

phrases the delay level is increased. This allows you to play with a relatively large

amount of delay without muddying fast riff s.

MODULATED

Take the 2290’s pristine sound, send it through three (!) chorus pedals… et voilà.

If you’re into the sound of The Edge, you don’t want to miss this setting. Oh, and

while you’re at it, try playing around with the SUBDIVISION switch.

CRYSTALS

The Crystals eff ect pitch shifts the echoes up an octave through each delay loop,

creating a haunting and other-worldly sound. This is a very unique eff ect that

may open some interesting options, particularly when paired with the

MASH function.

REVERSE

If you’ve been around for some time, you know the drill: Record a guitar part on

tape. Flip the tape over. Play it back. This is a classic eff ect made famous by guitar

legends such as Jimi Hendrix – and although it’s kind of “old school”, the reverse

eff ect still seems to inspire people to try out new things.

LOOPER

Set the Delay type selector to LOOP to use the built-in audio looper.

This functionality is explained in ‘Chapter 5.3 Using the looper’.

TONEPRINT

Select one of the 3 TonePrint settings to access a default setting, or create your

own presets! See Chapter 3 for more details on creating and loading TonePrints.

7 FLASHBACK 2 DELAY User Manual

5. Operation 5.1 Signal chain placement The Flashback 2 can be used several ways depending on your situation. While there isn’t necessarily a right and wrong use, here are the most common scenarios.

Example 1: Before the amp’s input

When using the Flashback 2 before the amp’s input, it is generally best to place it after your other pedals. If any stereo eff ects are used before the reverb pedal, you can

preserve this stereo signal by connecting to both of the Flashback 2’s inputs and sending the output jacks to diff erent amps or to a stereo input on a mixer.

Input

(Optional ampfor stereo operation)

Combo Amp

Example 2: In the amp’s FX loop

The Flashback 2 has a very wide gain range, and can easily be used with guitar or

loop-level signals. Simply connect the amp’s Send jack to the Flashback 2 input,

and connect the output to the amp’s Return jack.

5.2 MASH switchThe MASH function on the Flashback 2 is a very exciting and innovative feature

that allows continuous control of a desired parameter through pressure on the

footswitch. This opens up countless creative possibilities, particularly with the

user-defined TonePrints

The standard toggle function of the footswitch reacts to single, quick presses of

the switch to turn the pedal on and off. If you press the switch slightly harder

and hold it down, the MASH function will engage, causing the associated LED

to light up slightly. As you press down harder on the switch, the LED lights up

brighter and the parameter that has been assigned to this function will increase

its value. Releasing the footswitch will exit the MASH function and the LED will

turn off, but the pedal will still be engaged.

Note that the pressure needed to reach the maximum MASH level is only 10 kg

(around 20 pounds), which can be achieved just by squeezing with your fingers.

You shouldn’t need to lean too much weight on the pedal. With some practice,

this feature will become familiar and expressive much like a wah or

volume pedal.

Using the TonePrint editor software, you can assign your own parameter to this

unique feature and save a custom preset that allows you to create sounds that

very few reverb units have been capable of before. See Chapter 3 for more details

on TonePrints.!

5.3 Using the looperWith the looper built into your Flashback 2, you can record and play back grooves

and lines for playing along. You can even overdub your recording an unlimited

number of times.

The first round of recording always sets the length of the loop. The duration of a

loop can be up to 40 seconds in mono and 20 seconds in stereo, regardless of how

many overdubs you make.

If an overdub exceeds the length of the loop, a third round of recording begins.

This gives a very natural, logic and musical feel when recording loops.

The DELAY and FEEDBACK knobs are inactive in Loop mode.

Recording and playing loops:

• • Set the Delay type selector to LOOP.

• • Make sure the pedal is in bypass mode (i.e., the LED should be off ). Feel the

groove and prepare for recording. Then tap the pedal’s footswitch to start

your recording and begin playing. The pedal’s LED fl ashes red.

• • To stop recording, press the footswitch again. Flashback Delay immediately

switches to playback mode and starts playing the loop. In playback mode,

the LED is green.

• • To overdub your recording, press the switch once more. The LED now blinks.

• • To delete all recordings, double-tap the footswitch.

• • An external footswitch can be connected to the Stereo Input jack to act as a

dedicated Stop switch (mono mode only).

6. Bypass Mode6.1 True Bypass and Buffered Bypass explainedTrue Bypass mode is a hard-wire bypass that gives absolutely no coloration of

tone when the pedal is bypassed. This is the default mode for your effect pedal.

Using True Bypass on all pedals is a perfect choice in setups with a few pedals and

relatively short cables before and after the pedals

If...

• • you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal or

• • if you use many pedals on your board or

• • if you use a long cable from your board to the amp,

... then the best solution will most likely be to set the first and the last pedal in

the signal chain to Buffered Bypass mode.

Can you hear the difference between a pedal in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass mode?

Maybe, maybe not – many factors apply: active vs. passive pick-ups, single-coil

vs. humbucker, cable quality, amp impedance and more. We cannot give a single

ultimate answer. Use your ears and find the best solution for your setup!

6.2 Switching between True Bypass and Buffered BypassTo set the bypass mode, proceed as follows:

• • Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.

• • Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look for the two small dip-switches

in the upper left corner.

• • The upper DIP switch (the one closer to the power in jack), switches between

True Bypass mode (default) and Buffered Bypass mode. The other switch has

no function.

• • Set the DIP switch to the desired position.

• • Remount the back plate.

6.3 Kill-dry on/off When you activate Kill-dry, the direct signal is removed from the pedal’s output.

Use this mode when you place your TC Electronic eff ect pedal in a parallel

eff ects loop.

To set Kill-dry mode, proceed as follows:

• • Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.

• • Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look for the two small dip-switches

in the upper left corner.

• • The lower DIP switch (the one further away from the power in jack),

switches between Kill-dry on and Kill-dry off mode.

You can only remove the dry signal from the signal path if you have selected

Buff ered Bypass mode using the upper DIP switch (see section 6.2). Kill-dry is not

available in True Bypass mode.

9 FLASHBACK 2 DELAY User Manual
